Dichloromethane 99% extrapure is a high-purity solvent commonly used in laboratories for extraction, chromatography, and chemical synthesis. Beyond the lab, it serves as a paint stripper, a metal degreasing solvent, an extraction solvent for decaffeinating coffee and tea, and a blowing agent for polyurethane foam. It is a colorless, highly volatile liquid that is a suspected carcinogen and is harmful by inhalation, as it is metabolized in the body to carbon monoxide, so it should be handled with adequate ventilation and appropriate protective equipment. CAS: 75-09-2. Signal word: None. Molekula supplies Dichloromethane 99% extrapure from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
